Pottery
The film begins as a cultural reportage of the most conventional kind, with a series of frames filmed around Peleș Castle, set to classical music and accompanied by a commentary describing the museum's ceramic collection. What is surprising in this construction is the unusual effect that the natural setting, chosen as the original backdrop of the presentation, has on the exhibits. Removed from the museum and displayed outdoors, the objects fail to resonate with nature and stand out like anomalies in the wintery, postcard-like landscape. But the romantic surplus of Chopin's music, which is added to the increasingly abstract visual compositions, with vases, trinkets and precious tableware fancifully placed in the water of a stream and among snowy fir trees, represents an at least extravagant attempt to deviate from the aesthetic norm.
